Dick Clarke Jazz Guitarist

The Jack Leathem Band on the wagon, a rare sight indeed

In the early 90’s Jack’s band had a regular gig the Crown in Stony Stratford. We’d usually have a guest sitting in with the band. On one brilliant night it was the wonderful eccentric world class clarinettist Bruce Turner on reeds. This set was recorded live there on a little cassette machine.

Bruce Turner sax & clar, Jack Leathem tpt,  Dick Laing drums, Nick Jones bass, Dick Clarke gtr.

Bruce Turner

Body and Soul and Billies Bounce were recorded on another night at the Crown when we had the powerful bassist Tony Desborough with us and the amazing Ian Ellis on sax. Sorry about the over recorded guitar. The mic must have been pointing straight at my amp.
